Owen Miller asked me to post these, who by the way can not log in. Maybe mods can check this out.

Wow..they're really going to town on that Hellcat. What's the plan for it? The museum already has a restored F6F-3 and -5 on display. I would think the Otay Reservoir Helldiver or even the birdcage Corsiar would be more of a priority.

Thanks for the pics Owen. Is the Coronado going inside the new bldg?

Glad to see another big flying boat preserved. Too bad she won't fly again, though.

i had an oil quantity gauge from a coronado.... E -109-4 made by liquidometer corp. w/ 4 needles, hence 1 for each engine. there can't be that many instruments to that specific aircraft floating around, i'd like to think who ever i sold it to donated it to the restoration. had i have known there was was a resto project of the type i would have donated it!! i have a few vintage coronado silhouette i.d. posters for sale, & i think a cardboard i.d. model too.
